I held an iPhone 6 and 6 plus in my hand today...

I've been begging for a bigger screen since the iPhone 1. It was obvious from the outset that it was too small for browsing, email, basically anything that requires using the keyboard. I mean, look at how much screen the keyboard takes up on even the iPhone 5. Clearly the device is and always has been too small. Personally I was dissapointed by the timid size increase represented by the 5. The 6 and 6 Plus finally correct this long standing problem and the iPhone can finally be the thumb of the nose to the Newton Message Pad that Jobs intended it to be. The Safari Pad! iPhone 6. The true hand based computer (even though everyone's doing it now too.)

I disagree.

People change their mind you know. Plus, nobody was expecting the tsunami of super sexy content/services apps that has rushed into the ecosystem, thus increasing the value of larger screen real estate.

Funniest is that people like to label others! Yes, I have have changed my mind on screen size, and yes I am one of your "Hippocrates".

Are you happy now?

I don't think its forced <snip>

If I want a new iPhone, there is no 4" option.

I've been waiting for a bigger phone myself, though the 5.5'' really is a shocker. If only they could have made the 5.5'' with a small edge bezel so its like the size of the OnePlusOne phone... its shorter than less tall than the iPhone...

It would be nice if you can have the 5.5'' without it actually feeling like a 5.5''.

But then it wouldn't look like an iPhone and clearly Apple isn't ready to abandon the iconic look yet.

I was at a local electronics store today, and realized how similar the iphone 6 back design is similar to the HTC One, look at those white stripes!

I think they could have done a little more.

I saw iPhone 6 plus in some videos and i think that is really hard to handle in one little hand so i would like to go with iPhone 6, 4.7".

Well not the real thing, but a very good replica to the exact size! I have to say I feel vindicated with my iPhone 6 purchase. The plus is just massive and impossible to handle with one hand.

Create a misleading thread title to get clicks. You kind of suck. Down vote.

Seriously!

We need a downvote button that will lock the thread if it gets enough downvotes.

I up voted you for requesting the return of the down vote.
